At the current cps per item:
Time Machine: 689,128
Grandma's: 114,668
Cursors: 93,669.2

Grandmas are worth the second most which is nice. I'll have #100 in a bit.

Re: Cookie Clicker

Here's my general strategy at this point.

I'm at 545 million cps. I'm keeping 10 trillion cookies in the bank at any given point.

If I'm going to babysit the game and click cookies, I'll keep the grandmothers appeased (the cost is capped at 8^13 cookies or ~550 million cookies). The most likely golden cookie click results are the cookie instant bonus (~10% of your current cookie stockpile or 30 minutes of cookie production at your cps, whichever is lower) and the x7 cps for 77 seconds. One click of a golden cookie will net me ~294 million cookies over 77 seconds, or ~980 million for the instant payout. When cookies are appearing every couple minutes (because I bought the golden cookie upgrades), a couple golden cookie clicks will make back my loss on appeasing the grandmothers. All this assumes I'm keeping 10 trillion cookies banked and I feel like babysitting the game.

For red cookies you're wanting the ~6% chance of getting x666 to your cps for 6 seconds. For me it would be a gain of ~2.1 trillion. Which is very nice, but 4 golden cookie clicks will likely net me more cookies than relatively uncommon "Elder Frenzy".

There's lots of nice math you could do to figure out at which cps it becomes more advantageous to appease the grandmothers than just work with the red cookies. There's really no extreme downside to just relying on red cookies though, you won't be losing cookies overall with them.

I'm not sure why I spent time going though this.

Re: Cookie Clicker

New update. v1.034

04/09/2013 - smarter cookie
-golden cookies only have 20% chance of giving the same outcome twice in a row now
-added a golden cookie upgrade
-added an upgrade that makes pledges last twice as long (requires having pledged 10 times)
-Quintillion fingers is now twice as efficient
-Uncanny clicker was really too unpredictable; it is now a regular achievement and no longer requires a world record, just *pretty fast* clicking

Re: Cookie Clicker

782 million cps

Got a wrath cookie that buffed my production by 666x for 20 seconds instead of 6 seconds like the last update. I actually clicked during those 20 seconds and got 4.5 trillion hand made in that time period lol
